Head of Security

San Francisco, CA

At Merge, we revolutionize the way B2B companies integrate. Unfamiliar with the integration problem? The average company expects to spend hundreds of hours a year integrating with dozens or more vendors. Alignment between sales, partnerships, product management, design, engineering, and customer success (a lot, right?) is absolutely critical — and a major headache. Integrations are a to-do that goes on and on.

Our Unified API empowers developers to offer integrations with hundreds of platforms instantly. Now we’re hiring for you: an ambitious leader ready to help build, design, and support enterprise-grade software scaled to millions of users.

Merge is poised to power all B2B integrations, and in doing so, are powering data movement for some of the most secure companies in the world. Working with these powerhouses requires us to follow industry leading security practices and constantly protect ourselves.
